Some 20,000 people in the German city of Cologne have been forced to leave their homes as authorities defuse a one-tonne bomb from World War Two. Schools and kindergartens - as well as the zoo - remained closed during the city's largest post-war evacuation. About 1,100 residents of a retirement and disability centre in the Riehl area were among those taken to safety. It is not unusual for unexploded bombs to be discovered in Germany. Allied bombers targeted Cologne in WW2. The deactivation of the one-tonne device, which was found near Muelheim bridge crossing the Rhine river, was planned for Wednesday afternoon. City officials said in a statement that during this time the river would be closed for shipping and the airspace would also be closed. The bomb was found on Friday during preparations for the construction of a pipeline, according to local media. It is believed to be an American design and was buried 5m (16ft) underground. A 1km exclusion zone was set up around the spot where the device was found. Hundreds of tonnes of unexploded ordnance are discovered in Germany every year. The explosives are usually defused safely, though in 2010 three bomb-disposal officers were killed during an attempt to make a bomb safe. In December 2011, the biggest bomb disposal operation in Germany since 1945was mounted in Koblenz to defuse two bombs from World War Two found in the riverbed of the Rhine. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32897388 1 Share

Defcon1: Yeah! But wait until World War 3 comes, then you will know that ww2 is but a child's play. Read the Stromberger's prophecy. He accurately predicted the 2nd World war, and then he talked about the coming one: http://perdurabo10.tripod.com/warehousee/id14.html |

So, up till now, they are still discovering some of the remnants of man's ingenius killer pins that took the lives of millions of the innocents? But if it is to be said that man had learned any lesson from the war and its aftermaths, it is that, man will forever sufficiently ensure its own destruction and extinction. The various conflicts brewing around the globe today, especially between the super-powers and their respective allies, is enough evidence that man is a failed project, and that a larger conflageration is looming in the horizon. For so long as there are men, there will be WARS. |
